Comment on Toilet specific plungers get the job done faster and with way less effort and mess.
Varyk@sh.itjust.works 2 months agoNot at all.
“You get either or whatever fits your toilet. It’s not specifically for sink only.”
Incorrect.
One plunger is designed for the flat surface of sinks, the other is designed for the outtake valve of toilets.
Unless your toilet is a completely flat surface like a sink, you’ll need a flange to build effective water pressure while plunging within the outtake of a clogged toilet, and you’ll need lack of a flange to plunge a flat surface.
“Some toilets use the normal “sink” plunger because the exit opening is too large for the “toilet” marked style”.
This is also wrong because:
- The flange is as wide as the sink plunger anyway, so a sink plunger won’t work if a toilet outtake is too wide for a toilet plunger and
- the toilet plunger is made to fit inside the outtake of the toilet, not over the mouth of the drain like a sink plunger.
they are completely different designs and have different use-cases that you will only get more trouble and mess for by not knowing and spreading misinformation.

I am not wrong. There are toilet designs where the flange style literally doesn’t cover the exit chute. I have one. I have to use a “sink” style type. The flange style is small and does not form any type of seal due to the shape and size. It’s literally impossible that it is the correct solution. Everything I said is 100% correct.

you are wrong.
“There are toilet designs where the flange style literally doesn’t cover the exit chute.”
The flange style is not designed to cover the exit chute, but rather to fit inside the outtake.
This is also apparently due to your specifically atypical plunger.
“The flange style is small and does not form any type of seal due to the shape and size”
since flange and cup plungers are the same diameter, you are clearly having an anomalous problem that you should not be drawing broad conclusions from.
cup plungers and flange plungers are specifically designed to address different problems, to be used in different manners(one covers a drain, while the other creates a seal with a toilet outtake by fitting inside the outtake) and are not interchangeable.
Your premises are flawed and your conclusions are incorrect.

Literally don’t give a shit what you say. I am not wrong. On this specific toilet, the flange style literally doesn’t seal and CANNOT perform a push / pull to unclog a drain due to the exit profile and shaping.
You are not right no matter how smart you think you are.

You are wrong.
I’m not talking about how smart I am, I’m correcting your flawed assumption that two separate items designed and used for separate uses are interchangeable.
you are arguing that a baseball cap works equally as well as putting a sneaker on your head.
It doesn’t, because while a sneaker is designed and meant to cover your foot, a baseball cap is designed and intended to cover your head.
Two seperate items with separate designs and use-cases.
A sneaker is not interchangeable with a baseball cap.
